You said: "When I cooked fried chicken" was the chicken raw when you put it in the fryer or were you reheating fried chicken? Did you use butter, vegetable oil or something else to fry the meat. Did you forget to pat dry the meat after it had been marinating in the buttermilk before coating the chicken pieces in breadcrumbs. I'm looking at all possibilities! | |

| Aug 25, 2025 at 5:07 | comment | added | fyrepenguin | If I had to guess, are you saying that the breading is golden but the skin underneath the breading is burnt? | |
| Aug 25, 2025 at 4:35 | comment | added | user3486184 | It's not clear what you mean by the "outer layer." Normally I'd think of the skin as the outer layer with all the chicken meat in a relatively undifferentiated layer below that, but it appears you have a different experience? | |
